If you ever want to see a devastated country…with 6 of 7 states driven to the brink of desperation because of poker machines….visit Australia. In WA where pokies are banned…the people still go out for dinner, go shopping, get hairdos and buy new shoes!
In the rest of the country those businesses are rapidly losing ground…they are trying to vie for the lost dollars while we all must pay the huge price of pokies harms! If our life expectancy has increased because of better eating patterns…what does this report about spending on food say for the future of Australia? It is a damned disgrace and I applaud our Prime Minister for making a stand at last, to limit poker machines…they should be outright banned! Our people are begging for that outcome…but their state governments are too scared to face their own inefficiency that got them hooked on pokies revenue….to the point where our crime and suicide is rising out of control! Take heed UK…and restrict these infernal machines…they will kill all in their path!
